If it has happened to you that on full moon days, you have a hard time sleeping, you have a little insomnia, and your sleep cycles are a disaster in general, there is a reason behind it. We share with you the causes of this phenomenon and how you can combat it.
The full moon is one of nature’s most beautiful phenomena, but sometimes, it can interfere with your sleep. Among the causes of this are: the luminosity of the moon, changes in the circadian rhythm, and ups and downs in moods and emotions.
Why the Full Moon Affects Your Sleep

If the weeks when there is a full moon you have noticed that your sleep is affected and you have a hard time falling asleep, you are not alone, and there are reasons.
The effects on your sleep can appear up to five days before the astrological phenomenon happens. To begin with, the phases of the moon affect the tide of the oceans, and this directly impacts the energy and moods of humans. You may feel a little more irritable or insecure, and therefore, it may be harder for you to fall asleep.
Then, many times the full moon can bring with it “chaotic energy”, which favors insomnia. These are times when people overthink many things and start analyzing even the smallest details of any situation.
What can I do if the full moon affects my sleep?

Moon breathing is a very popular meditation technique that can help you fall asleep. It may sound a little crazy, but it’s effective.
It consists of covering your right nostril and only breathing through the left. Having a controlled and conscious breath has a positive effect on the nervous system. It sends signals that things are relaxed and peaceful.
To do this, you must sit with your back straight, close your eyes, relax your shoulders, and start with your controlled breathing. Repeat the process for a few minutes until you feel more relaxed.
